I have a mini ITX build similar to the picture with a GTX 970. Runs every game maxed out 60 fps 1080p no problem.

i5-4690k to 4.0ghz
16gb Ram
EVGA GTX 970
480gb SSD
2TB 7200 RPM HDD
700w Full power supply

Cool Master Elite 130 for the Case

Its small and powerful. Which is what most gamers are aiming for these days.

The new DanCase looks interesting. I almost bought one, but for $280, it's not worth it. I'd only be using it as a LAN pc. Which mine is small enough to do now, anyways.

>Pic not related, first PC I built back in 2010/2011.

If anything you should keep the cpu and upgrade to the 1080..

>>686936240
Either way, I can wait for it. My 980 is playing most games at 3,440 x 1,440 fine when I do game, so. Usually the highest settings with AA off grants me 45+ FPS in brand new triple-A titles. The only game that gives me an issue with performance was ARMA III.

Served me well for the last three years. In another year or two i'll upgrade again but right now I haven't found anything it couldn't handle. May have the case sandblasted and powder coated white to match my monitors.

Sorry for the poor photo. I'm not a photographer.

I've sold my desktop computer because I'm moving across the world for a new job. I'm not sure if I want to build a new desktop after moving or get a laptop that can handle light games (dota/indie games etc). I know gaming laptops are not worth the price but I want to be mobile if I have to move after a year. Should I just give up on gaming?

Btw I'm not a graphics fag (Play csgo on low settings for max fps) and don't care so much about the looks.

Favorite games: csgo, cities skylines, dota2, want to play fallout 4 but doubt laptops can handle it

You should think more about the "good fps in every game". It is not even close to an i7. Maybe at best a few year old i3.

I had two builds with them. With two full sized motherboards and 64 gigs of ram. Several dual gpus. The cpu was the bottleneck for gaming. About half the games I tested ran far worse than any benchmark even compared to an i3.

No issue with mine. I'm actually using DisplayPort to my monitor. Have you tried a different DisplayPort cable? I have one DP cable, and without me touching it or moving it the signal will randomly cut out for half a second.

I only play at 1920x1080 60Hz so I'm debating wheater to overclock or not, I've managed to overclock each component individually but once the 3 are together and overclocked I seem to get weird behavior like stuttering and freezing in game for less than 1 second or so that don't seem to happen at stock, weird thing is that all the stability and stress test I've tried have passed for more than 24 hours without problems even prime 95.

I agree with you. I just left the gtx in there to not be a AMD fan boy. But Nvidia has some shit business practices and fucks their older users. The people that bought the 970 over the r9 390 are starting to feel the hurt now with the release of the 1000 series

>>686943622
was it expensive for you?

>>686944598
Do you want to make some money?

>>686944934
what? lol

>>686944998
Do you want to make some money? Fast money for things you would do anyway for free.

>GTX 660
>I5 4440
>6GB RAM

Come at me, you "PCmasterrace" faggots, the whole debate's just like a few kids playing in a sandbox. Fucking hell, it's just so fucking stupid.

Listen, i'm looking for new game. I can show you how to make money from sex.

Most of my rig is from before I got a decent job, but I recently got a new CPU and components to go with it.

> i5-6600K
> Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming 5
> 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport 2400MHz
> XFX R9 380 (looking to grab a 390X or Polaris equivalent soonish)
> Thermaltake Core V1
> PNY CS1111 240GB SSD + random 500GB Samsung HDD pulled from another dying machine

Handles most of the games I play (Rocket League, TF2, Cities: Skylines, and Factorio) maxed no problem, but GTA V stays at "high" settings.

Is this good?

>>686941031
that blue is so fucking sexy

>>686944748
took about 10 months,

>i7 3770k
>msi gtx 980
>ASUS P8z77ws mobo
>crucial and samsung 240 gig ssd
>500gb hdd

Waiting for my hardware to slowly become obsolete so I can switch over to newer tech in the future. Maybe sell 980 and get a 1080
